Savannah Guthrie's Mother: Search Intensifies Across Border
19 Feb
Summary
- US investigators contacted Mexican authorities regarding the disappearance.
- A non-profit is aiding the family in finding the missing 84-year-old.
- Investigators are using a 'signal sniffer' to locate the missing woman.
US investigators have reportedly reached out to Mexican authorities as the search for missing American news anchor Savannah Guthrie's mother continues into its third week. While official confirmation is pending from the sheriff's department and FBI, it is understood that the family has engaged a Mexican non-profit that assists in locating missing persons within the region.
Despite extensive efforts and public appeals from her daughter, a breakthrough remains elusive. Law enforcement sources suggest the FBI has notified their Mexican counterparts, with an initial investigation into a possible cross-border purchase reportedly yielding no results. However, collaboration with Mexican officials is standard practice given the proximity to the border.
Investigators are exploring all avenues, including analyzing DNA from a glove found near the 84-year-old's home, which did not match any FBI databases. A new development involves the use of a 'signal sniffer' device, mounted on a helicopter, to potentially detect Bluetooth signals from her pacemaker, which was disconnected from her phone app on the night she vanished.
